In your function, factorial_cal, you do almost nothing !
Mathmatically, we have the recursive definition :
0!=1
n!=n*(n-1)!

this way, your recursive function would probably work better like this

int fact_cal(int n)
{
         if (n<2)
                 {
                         return 1;
                 }
         else
                 return (n*fact_cal(n-1));
                 }
}

But an iterative function is much more effective ! and costs less memory.
We have
n!=1*2*3*...*n

so
int fact(n)
{
         int i,res=1;
         for (i=1;i<n+1;i++)
         {
                 res=res*i;
         }
         return res;
}

By the way, I would probably use an unsigned long int instead of an int 
since n! is always positive and grows very fast. The only issue is that you 
don't check for an illegal value of n (negative for example, which returns 
1 instead of an undefined result).
Moreover, if there is an effective algorithm to calculate the Euler Gamma 
function on C\{-N}, I would be very interested.

Basically the problem you are having is caused by the fact that you aren't 
doing anything with the result of your recursion. You have the function 
calling itself, but it isn't in anyway affecting the return value.

Try this instead.

int factorial_cal(int value)
{
   if(value == 1)
      return 1;
   else if(value > 0)
      return (value * factorial_cal(value-1));
   else
      abort();
}

Thus the recusion will result in:

factorial_cal(5) creates
(return 5*(return 4*(return 3*(return 2*1;);););)

Where each set of parenthesis represents 1 call to the function.

Don't know C++ too well, but you're running your factorial_cal without
catching the return value.  Try 

results = factorial_cal( number );

Right, but then you are dealing with a static string, and not a dynamic one. 
Which raises issues of buffer overflows, etc. As long as you know the length 
of the buffer cannot be exceeded you're ok. But it's often dificult to be 
sure. The standard C++ string and strstream classes prevent such overflowing 
by handling the memory allocation internally.

Try

{
   char thestring[whatever]

   sprintf(whatever,"John has %d apples,muInt);
}

sprintf applies a format and then puts the result into a string

How about this instead..

string my1String = "John";
string my2String = "apples";
int    myInt     = 6;
strstream buffer;

buffer << my1String << " has " << myInt << " "<< my2String << "!" << endl;

cout << buffer.str();

// Output = John has 6 apples!

Read my question and you know that I'am a Neewbe :-)

How to convert, cast, transform, whatever a int value to a string?

include <string.h>

string my1String = "John has";
string my2String = "apples!";
int    myInt = 6;

my1stString = my1stString + UNKNOWN_FUNC(myInt) + my2ndString;

As you guessed I'd like to get:
"John has 6 apples!"

Hi there,

can anybody tell me where output like
         cout << "gone so far" << endln;
in a windowbased application goes?

I'am writing a windowbased programm and wanna write some debug
informations to a console
(like to the javaconsole).

I opend a dos shell already  (Tools/Dos Shell) or (F10) but nothing
appears in here

Thanks
    Gregor

Idea 3 would be better implemented as an option under project preferences.
I for one like all my project components opened as I open the project file.

I would like to propose the following idea's:

Idea 1:
When I select "save-all" in the file-menu I want to save changed files
only. The current version saves all files regardless of if they have
been changed. Since I use CVS, every change creates thus unneeded
versions. This makes things complicated for other developers working on
the same project. I try to save only the files that I actually changed
but for large projects I can't keep track and much "save-all" to make
sure everything is stored on disk. Maybe, in the project-window an icon
could be added to changed files? Or an other text color for the
filename?

Idea 2:
When compiling large projects it would be nice to have some insight in
what is happening when I select build. Now I only see "compiling" and
"linking", which is a bit sparse information.

Idea 3:
When I open a project, all files are opened immediately. For large
projects this is not needed. I would rather open files when I need to
change them.

  Subject: [Dev-C++] Re: Icons




        Are you trying to put the icon in the title bar or just load one =
to put somewhere inside the dialog box?

  im trying to put one in the dialog window somewhere:

  this code: ICON  "myIcon",500,20,10,20,20,SS_SUNKEN | WS_BORDER

  brings up a bordered area for the icon but no icon inside it

  500 is the resouce ID of the icon defined at the top of the resouce =
file:

  500 ICON MOVEABLE PURE LOADONCALL DISCARDABLE =
"C:/DEV-C++/Icon/Documentation.ico"

  Thanks

  Lawrence=20

#include <conio.c>

then

textcolor(whatever number);

the numbers define which color will appear.(the list is in conio.h)
